United would have been awarded a penalty.VAR isn't going to do anything about it. I think this is beyond football and requires people tweeting, emailing or whatever so it becomes an issue.

I find the idea of selecting people for anything on sexual orientation invasive and alarming.Have always found this line of thought to be interesting. Even if sky were selecting pundits based on sexual orientation and race instead of qualifications, can you explain why its a bad thing?
Appeals to a wider audience, probably better commercially. Unless you just don't like seeing anything but straight white guys on your tele.
There is plenty of grit, that is not the problem. The problem is the lack of quality. There is a reason why we play three at the back, it is precisely that lack of quality. Arteta sees his, that is why we play this way. You go 4-2-3-1 toe to toe, and we will get hammered. The squad isn't good enough.
Every team gets a big win occasionally ffs. We've beaten City and Liverpool recently. But City will beat lesser teams more often than not. Our quality does not match theirs. A blind person could see that. And Leeds and Villa will lose next time. It's all about odds.Do we have a poorer squad compared to Leeds and Villa? 2 teams that played Man City and Liverpool toe to toe?
I've seen more high quality attacks from Leeds than I've seen from us thus far this season. Couldn't watch this game, though, so I don't know how we did.Do we have a poorer squad compared to Leeds and Villa? 2 teams that played Man City and Liverpool toe to toe?
It's not about beating them. My post was in context of our game plan. Those two teams (and it seems many other teams except us) go to these big teams and show them too much respect. The person I was responding too said something about the fact that we do this because of the quality of our squad and my point is we do not have a poorer squad compared to these other teams so why should we show that much respect?Every team gets a big win occasionally ffs.

That's a slight red flag and a bit of a worry imo.strange comment tbh
Someone needs to remind him that Willian is not 21strange comment tbh
We “may” get hammered. It’s 3 points lost still. In addition we have shown a great improvement in defence. Our 3 at the back gives us shape and stability but restricts us to change shape to accommodate it. Hence restrictions on our forward play.
Now we have Gabby with added steel. Kieran with added steel. Partey TK protect the defence. Add the general team spirit and combativeness. That is a base good enough to shape the team to create more chances.
We must create more. We changed shape and took out our highest scorer Laca to accommodate a tactically defensive shape. Not good enough. You get the impression we should have gone a gear more adventurous than we did. Same sentiments against Liverpool
Leeds lost to City by the way but they gave them something to think about.
We are going to Man Utd and Chelsea and will end up playing same style of football
Huh? I mean I’m all for diversity and everything but I don’t get this argument at all.Have always found this line of thought to be interesting. Even if sky were selecting pundits based on sexual orientation and race instead of qualifications, can you explain why its a bad thing?

We got two actually...I've seen more high quality attacks from Leeds than I've seen from us thus far this season. Couldn't watch this game, though, so I don't know how we did.
Curious to know if we got any nice open play chances through fast transitions or intricate passing play. My default guess would be no.
I find the idea of selecting people for anything on sexual orientation invasive and alarming.
As to qualifications I'll say what I always say, if I need a heart surgeon I want the best one money can buy and I don't give a damn if he/she comes from any particular race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation etc etc.
Whilst I am happy to see people helped in particular quandaries being given extra help, I do not agree with arbitrary quotas which discriminate against people for the colour of their skin or gender or sexual orientation. There is no positive discrimination, only discrimination.
